Passed surgeon's goal at 6 1/2 months

Passed personal goal at 7 1/2 months

Still losing at 8 1/2 months, even though I am ready to stop. Wanna finally buy some new clothes!

The honeymoom phase ended for me around the 1 year mark. I did not stop losing weight, but I had to be more vigilant about the things I was eating and the amounts. The Sleeve does not have an on/off switch :P and you can continue to use it as a tool to lose weight as long as you would like. After a year, I found myslef slipping into old habits, like eating out of boredom or grazing throughout the day. Frankensleeve still works, it was me that had gotten off track.

But take as much advantage of the Honeymood period as possible. This will be the time when it's the easiest to lose weight and get into good eating habits. Your new Sleeve will still have the most restriction (before it is completely healded and the swelling has gone down) and your metablism won't have had a chance to adjust to the new lower caloric intake.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
